@npg68 They were praised by Elton John, T-Rex and many others during the day and were treated well in LA - back by the likes of Kim Fowley. Elton John wrote 'Crocodile Rock' as an answer to Daddy Cool's # 1 'Eagle Rock'. However, like most pre-AC/DC Aussie bands, Daddy Cool made no impression outside of Oz.
